The Princess of Wales revealed during a special meeting with well-wishers outside Windsor Castle on Saturday that her youngest son, Prince Louis, had offered her words of comfort following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96.

Kate, formerly Duchess of Cambridge and now the Princess of Wales, appeared at the castle's long-walk on Saturday evening U.K. time to view the floral tributes left by members of the public. This drew considerable attention when the princess unexpectedly appeared with Prince William alongside her in-laws Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The event marked the first time the two couples had been photographed together since the Sussexes last public engagement as working royals in 2020 before they moved to the U.S.
After arriving together by car with William driving, and viewing the floral tributes as a foursome, the couples split to walk either side of the castle's long-walk which was banked by well-wishers.
Video footage recorded by a member of the public during this time, viewed over a million times on social media, has shown Kate revealing the touching words of comfort offered to her by Louis, 4, in response to the queen's death.
The reference to the young prince's great-grandfather comes after the death of Prince Philip, the queen's husband of 73 years, in April 2021.
"This just shows you," she said, referring to the large crowds. "Just how special she was to everybody, all generations...thank you for coming to pay your respects."
Prince Louis shared a series of special moments with his great-grandmother the queen earlier this year which went viral during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
